Hi , I am just starting to look for family history, my grandmother was Beatrice Ethal Smith, Ann I think she had s brother Sammy or Samuel , and linked to the Smith Atrato circus family. This is all a new venture for me and any links or history of the Smith family will be much appreciated .

Welcome to the British Genealogy Forum, Trish. I'm not the expert that you need, but I am sure someone will be along.

It would probably help if you gave us an idea of the time and place that you are interested in.
The best thing is usually to start with something you are certain about - for example your grandmother and her brother - and work backwards. Do you know when she was born, and where. I am sure that you realise that anything that would make one Smith stand out from the crowd will be of help!
